I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I feel my heart beating
Oh you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
…
I'm a dream I die by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Oh, we are omen.

The sky was getting dark when Sakura and Naruto walked down the ally. They had been shopping groceries for dinner, and now they were heading home.
They were happy that it was just the two of them. They had not been able to get a single moment together the day before, so when Temari asked Gaara and Kankuro to go, they had insisted to do it instead of them, and luckily, none of the others had objected.
While shopping, Naruto had told her about everything that he had been doing in her absence… aaand that was not much. Other than occasional visits from Sasuke, he had been training in the gym a lot more often. He had ended his tale, saying "If anybody ever comes to take you away again, I can protect you Sakura-chan!" Though she knew he would do anything to protect her, it was flattering to hear it. As she glanced at Naruto, she couldn't help but to acknowledge the fact that his training had paid of, quite a lot.
Naruto had always had muscles; he grew up among gangs in Konoha, always running with the bigger kids, always getting into trouble. With the demon sealed inside of him, Naruto had never needed much physical training, and therefore he had not done any unnecessary training.
But not, she could really see the muscles flex when he moved his arm, really appreciate the sight when his biceps showed themselves when he had lifted the heavy bag with groceries, and to be honest, she was happy to see it. She was happy that he no longer solely relied on the demons power.
Getting Naruto back into her life was one of the best things that had happened to her after Orochimaru had stolen her wings. It was like going back in time, back to the time before Orochimaru and his creepy right-hand man Kabuto had entered her life.
And as hours together with Naruto passed, a little thought had been born in the back of her mind, slowly growing bigger and bigger. 'Maybe, it wouldn't be too bad to see the others again'. True, she had been avoiding her angel and demon friends for so long, that she had lost count on how many moths there had passed since she started hiding from them, but she had to admit it…. She missed them… a lot.
A weird feeling of sadness washed over her.
Why had she even been avoiding them to begin with?
Naruto noticed the change in the fallen angels expression, and looked at her worriedly.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay?"
Startled, Sakura looked at Naruto. She had been so far away in her thoughts that she had forgotten that he was there.
Forcing a smile onto her face, she opened her mouth, but before she could get a single word spoken, something grabbed her arm and pulled her into the darkness of an empty ally.
A hand was covering her mouth, as she was pulled further into the ally.
Struggling with all her might, Sakura managed to land a hit on her captor, who then dropped her onto the hard asphalt.
About to throw a fist at her attacker once again, Sakura immediately came to a halt when she heard a familiar voice speak.
"Shit, Sakura. Is that how you usually great old friends?"
Shocked, Sakura looked at the two tall figures in front of her.
She could recognize that spiky silver-hair and those pearl-white eyes anywhere.
"Kakashi…. Neji?"
Kakashi lazily waved his hand at her, and though the mask covered his lips, she could clearly see the smile.
Neji stood tall and proud next to the silver-haired angel, though embracing his rips with one arm…. Presumably where she had hit him.
Before any of them could speak, a new voice interrupted them.
"Oi! Fuckers!"
Not even turning around to see whom the voice belonged to Sakura already knew who it was.
And the first thought that entered her mind?
'Oh Hell'
I'm alive!
Sorry for the long wait and the short chapter. I was in my intention to make the chapter longer, but I felt that I needed to just get the chapter posted instead of fighting to make it longer right now.
I've been really stressed lately, and though I have managed to write longer chapters faster than this one before, I did not have the drive to do it. I know my stories aren't that good, but I love writing, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it. But with all the stress, I began to consider if this really was worth the time I spend on it instead of focusing on school, and now that my extra focus in school have paid of and there is a lot less stress, I have decided to write again and continue, because to me, it is worth it!
